I am currently using a headphone stand that Li Xiang got for me on Taobao for CN¥190 (S$38). It is pretty expensive considering it is a rip off of Just Mobile’s HeadStand and the quality is shit/horrible.

I have been eying on the Just Mobile HeadStand for a very long time but similar to Just Mobile AluCable Mini, the shipping cost puts me off. In Singapore, I saw it being sold at Stereo for a ridiculously marked up price of S$89.90.

When I saw it being sold in Bangkok Siam Paragon Department Store’s Be Trend section (Level 3), I bought it immediately. Paid TH฿1590 (S$62) for it which is very reasonable considering the recommended retail price on Just Mobile/Amazon is about the same US$49.90 (S$62).

Once you open up the box and get to hold the HeadStand, the quality is so much better than the Taobao’s version.

The assembly of the HeadStand is just securing the two screws between the base and the arm whereas for the Taobao’s version you have do so many steps to get it assembled and the screws will loosen overtime.

There are three colors available for the HeadStand: silver, black and gold. I saw on the box indicating that the gold is limited edition and has only 999 units available (not too sure whether it is worldwide or per country). I bought both the silver and gold but from different shops. As mentioned earlier for the silver I got it from Siam Paragon Department Store’s Be Trend whereas for the gold I got the last piece left from Central World’s iStudio.
